About Patrice
Patrice LaGrand is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with five years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain, anger, and life transitions. Patrice describes her role as listening for a person’s strengths and helping them use those strengths to handle everyday problems and hard moments.
She keeps sessions direct and practical. Conversations focus on identifying what matters to the client and on small, doable steps. Patrice uses talk and simple exercises to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding when stress or anger shows up.
Her approach draws on several evidence-based methods. Patrice uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take committed action. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques help with setting goals and building momentum.
People who come to Patrice often want a clear plan rather than long, abstract discussion. She helps break larger problems into manageable tasks and tracks progress week to week. That can mean practicing new reactions to frustration, improving communication, or building routines that reduce overwhelm.
If someone is unsure how to begin, Patrice asks about immediate concerns and goals in the first sessions. She then outlines practical options and checks in regularly to adjust the plan based on what is working.
How Patrice applies therapy approaches online
Patrice commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small steps that align with those values, which can help when anger or resentment gets in the way. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to change patterns that increase stress or reactivity.She also uses Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques to set clear goals and build momentum. These methods are collaborative - the therapist and client decide together which approach to try first and adjust as needed based on progress and preference.
The original biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday or attend from a quieter location. They also let people use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or try video when they want face-to-face conversation. Patrice will discuss what works best and adapt timing and techniques to match a client’s daily life.
